  This movie was an absolute miracle in terms of an educational movie that provides insite, knowledge, beauty and very necessary truths. The world is a very difficult place filled with discrimination and hatred, it is important that we as a human race begin to educate ourselves and others about the beauty of our differences instead of preaching segregation, hatred and a sense of superior patriotism. Borders divide us and as such we must create ways to enlighten those who are filled with hatred for anything that is "different". This movie shows the beauty as well as the problems that exist in Saudi Arabia while illuminating the viewer to the cultural history and identity. The value of education and knowledge is demonstrated beautifully and after watching this movie, you will leave with a new sense of what it means to be muslim, and perhaps recognize that it is not religion that divides us, but human beings who divide one another.

  Well, that was an hour I can't get back. The film was an apologia disguised as a travelogue, with far too much animation for an IMAX film. It's appalling that this movie follows a US film student as he interviews Bedouin men (women can't be filmed) talking about "family values", and several times mentions Saudi Arabia's supposed attempt at melding modern with "traditional" values... where "traditional" values include stoning for adultery and not allowing women to drive, travel without male consent, or to appear in public without Islamic covering. None of this was even hinted at in the film. I was disappointed in the quality of this IMAX, and disturbed by the one-sided content. At least I could watch with fascination as a camel lowered itself and rose with a rider, that was cool. Not worth having sat through the rest of the film, though. Give this one a miss. Collapse
